In the years that have passed, we--today's generation have lost another great leader. The tiny principality of Monaco was brought into the spotlight when Prince Rainer married American actress Grace Kelly who died in a car crash in 1985. We can all now take a sigh of relief that Prince Rainer has now reunited with Princess Grace after a long wait.

Thanks for the link. It was a refreshing article amidst all that has come out so far about the late Prince. How true indeed that Prince Rainier remained his dignity throughout it all - throughout the public and private pain. May he rest in peace.

When a father passes away, memories awake.
Which stories did he tell us? How did he take away our pain whenever our knees were bleeding? What did he leave with us?
When a father passes away, every child cries. Silent tears, desperate tears and tears full of sweet thankfullness........Adieu 'Papa' Rainier...

On the Palace's site there is a Tribute for Prince Rainier, there you can find the complete funeral programme. They will be having like they did when Princess Grace a reception at the Palace after the funeral on Friday.

At the Abaca site there are pics of the late Prince Rainier lying in Monaco Palace chapel . It makes me wonder whose idea it was to take pics like that. Thats awful:(. There should be some respect to P. Raineir:( :( :(
